"The shell must break before the bird can fly" -Tennyson

"A simple farm boy teams up with a mysterious hermit to rescue a princess before joining a group of interstellar resistance fighters in conflict with an evil gallactic empire that has recently completed construction of a devestating superweapon."

I rest my case.

Now we can see why so many people turned George Lucas down. But if he could get things going with that log line, I can get a Mexican Wonder Woman going!

There are two ways to handle being in the ocean.
On one hand, there can be wave after wave after wave. You're in it. Cold, endless waves washing over you. You're drowning.
Or you can surf. Ride the waves, guide that surfboard down the smoothest path to the beach.
I wanna learn how to surf.

It's a Long Way to the Top if you Want to Rock and Roll!

This just about sums it all up-- and there are bagpipes, too!

How's this for a spiffy quote?

"I am going to Granada, señor," said the gentleman, "to my own country."
" And a goodly country!" said Don Quixote.





The Court of Lions: Coming Sooner and Sooner to a Theater Near You!

Never Give a Damn About Your Bad Reputation!

After 23 rejections from every record label in town -- and this is after already playing in The Runaways -- Joan Jett started her own damn record label and recorded "I Love Rock and Roll." It was a hit!

Check out her video to "Bad Reputation." It's essentially Joan Jett rubbing this fact into the face of everyone that ever rejected her or told her she couldn't sing.

African Queen...

"All appears lost when Charlie and Rose "lose the channel" and the boat becomes mired in the mud amid dense reeds near the mouth of the river. First, they try to tow the boat through the muck, only to have Charlie come out of the water covered with leeches. All their efforts to free the African Queen fail. With no supplies left and short of potable water, Rose and Charlie (the latter suffering from a feverish attack of malaria) turn in, convinced they have no hope of survival. Before going to sleep Rose prays that she and Charlie be admitted into Heaven. As they sleep, exhausted and beaten, heavy rains raise the river's level and float the Queen off of the mud and into the lake which, it turns out, is just a short distance from their location..."

Take the advice of a Pixar dude!
